BATHROOMS & KITCHENS

NEW TREND ALERT : STONE DRENCHING

It ’ s time to step away from colour-drenching and make way for its luxurious counterpart ; Stone Drenching . A trend where more homeowners are specifying rooms with singular high-end materials covering walls , floors , and countertops as a key decorative feature to create an overall softer , harmonious space evoking luxury and relaxation in equal measure . Thanks to a bigger range of finishes now becoming available in larger slab sizes , designers have even more options to create a beautiful space that is easy to clean , and preserves its good looks thanks to less joints . Perfect for the kitchen and bathroom , this trend covers a number of interior macro movements such as minimalism , maximalism , and spa-bathrooms .
Ross Stewart , Senior Sales Manager for Neolith , a world leader in the design and manufacture of sintered stone surfaces comments :
“ Choosing a high performance , low-maintenance material for your floors , walls and vanity spaces is important . Sintered stone is an ideal choice for spa bathrooms due to its durability , high resistance to stains , scratches , and heat , as well as its low maintenance requirements . Consider using sintered stone for countertops , flooring , and wall cladding to create a cohesive and easy-to-clean surface that withstands the rigors of daily use .”
